Vaguely Scientific is a podcast where our panelists take audience-submitted questions ranging from the plausible to the fantastical and try to answer them as scientifically as they can. Not all questions have an easy answer, however, so our panelists will often devolve into tangents, bickering, and philosophy before stumbling across the "correct" solution.
